Divergence between the US and Canadian economies: what it could mean for treasurers

As Canadian treasurers work to navigate the choppy waters in today’s economy, their outlook and plans are defined by many variables from the core strength of their firm’s finances, to risk tolerance, and the desire to pursue growth opportunities. One important external variable that is not easily understood is the play between the Canadian and U.S. economies. In this session, John Landry, Head of Citi’s Treasury and Trade Solutions (TTS) business in Canada, will discuss the impacts a divergence of the Canadian and U.S. economies could have and how Canadian treasurers can plan for it.

John Landry is the Head of Citi’s Treasury and Trade Solutions business in Canada where he is responsible for a team of professionals in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Ottawa. John oversees traditional transaction banking capabilities as well as a new generation of innovative solutions for clients. Since joining the Canada franchise, he has led a resurgence of the business which is reflected in industry recognition for international cash management services and trade finance by Greenwich Associates and Global Finance.

Prior to his current role, John spent five years as Head of Citi’s Treasury and Trade Solutions business in Australia and New Zealand and held various positions for Citi in New York City.

John graduated from University of Richmond’s Robins School of Business. Recently, he has authored articles for a number of industry leading publications including AFP Exchange Magazine and Canadian Treasurer.
